Radio and TV personality Don Cheto of LBI Media's Regional Mexican KBUA-FM (La Que Buena 105.5/94.3) Los Angeles and host of the syndicated "Don Cheto Al Aire" morning show was honored by Los Angeles City officials with a City Proclamation of "Don Cheto Day" for his work in support of the Latino immigrant community.

Cheto, a whimsical and rural middle-aged character from the state of Michoacan, Mexico has been a staple of Spanish-language entertainment media for the past 20 years, namely as one of the country's well known Hispanic radio personalities and as celebrity judge on EstrellaTV's show "Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento." Cheto has been a long-standing voice and advocate of the Latino immigrant community not only in Southern California, but also across the U.S.

"We are extremely proud to have Don Cheto as an essential member of our LBI Media family. His unique sense of humor and cultural connection to the U.S. Latino population is second to none. His standing as a leading voice in immigration advocacy and his prowess in addressing and bringing attention to pressing issues that affect the Latino community using his multimedia platforms is the essence of LBI Media's community first approach," stated LBI Media Inc. CEO Peter Markham.

City Councilman Jose Huizar, 14th District, presented Don Cheto with a Proclamation declaring December 4 as "Don Cheto Day" at the Los Angeles City Council's Chamber and celebrated his contributions to the city's Latino immigrant population and his work in providing education and resources via his morning show, which this year celebrates 20 years on-air.

"I am honored to receive this recognition from the City of Los Angeles, a city that my family and I call home and where I have been fortunate enough to do what I love. For me, it's an honor to be the voice of our hard working Latino community and also represent our cultural heritage and pride," stated Cheto.
